The house has just opened for the season, so I am busy making sure it looks its best and guiding the plants as they grow. I am using a lot of passion flowers to make tunnels of flowers (best seen from June-September) but lots of the climbers are yet to be convinced that using the supports and wires are a good option. Most of them are trying to break through the roof!

Creating virtual images of the collection will discourage people from actually handing specimens, they argue. The Sustainable Uses of Plants Group (formerly the Centre for Economic Botany), focuses on the uses of plants in the United Kingdom and the world's arid and semi-arid zones. The center is also responsible for the curation of the Economic Botany Collection, which contains more than 90,000 botanical raw materials and ethnographic artifacts, some of which are on display in the Plants + People exhibit in Museum No. 1. The centre is now located in the Jodrell Laboratory.

It was originally erected in around 1900 in a suburb of Okazaki and is now located within the bamboo collection in the west-central part of Kew Gardens. Japanese craftsmen reassembled the framework and British builders who had worked on the Globe Theatre added the mud wall panels.

Endorsed by experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this is the definitive handbook to growing the coolest cacti, succulents, air plants, foliage and flowering plants. It contains detailed instructions on choosing, potting, feeding and propagation, along with profiles of over 75 popular plants and 12 eye-catching ideas to use and display them at home. Beautifully illustrated throughout with artwork from Kew's archives. The Bonsai House was formerly known as the Alpine House No. 24 prior to the construction of the Davies Alpine House. The conservatory has an area of 4,499 square metres (48,430sqft; 0.4499ha; 1.112 acres). As it is designed to minimize the amount of energy taken to run it, the cooler zones are grouped around the outside and the more tropical zones are in the central area where heat is conserved. The glass roof extends down to the ground, giving the conservatory a distinctive appearance and helping to maximize the use of the sun's energy. Underpinned by the authority of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the expertise of Holly Farrell, this is the definitive guide to propagating, growing, harvesting and using more than 75 herbs in the most interesting ways: from planting a green roof to making home-made pesto.

Bulbs offer gardeners beautiful displays throughout the year, from snowdrops and crocuses in early spring to cyclamen and nerines in late summer, and the range of colours and shapes is limitless. Written and endorsed by experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Bulbs is the definite handbook to storing, planting and displaying them. Sixty-six different plants are profiled, with lists of the very best cultivars, and twelve exciting projects offer inspiration for a range of uses in different garden situations. Thiselton-Dyer, W.

S2CID 3974811.The Jodrell Laboratory has spawned other laboratories and institutes, including the Laboratory of Plant Pathology in Harpenden (1920), the Imperial Bureau of Mycology in Kew (1930) and the Millennium Seed Bank, which initially relocated to Kew’s Wakehurst Place in 1993 as the Physiology Section. The Aquatic Garden is near the Jodrell laboratory. The Aquatic Garden, which celebrated its centenary in 2009, provides conditions for aquatic and marginal plants. The large central pool holds a selection of summer-flowering water lilies and the corner pools contain plants such as reed mace, bulrushes, Phragmites and smaller floating aquatic species. [81]
